11 April 1770
11. Calm: myself went out a shooting and killd
Diomedea exulans
and
impavida,
saw
profuga; Procellaria melanopus, Velox, Oceanica, Vagabunda
and
longipes, Nectris fuliginosa,
which I find to be the same bird as was seen by the Master and Tupia on the 6th. Took up with dipping net
Mimus volutator, Medusa pelagica, Dagysa cornuta, Phyllodoce velella
and
Holothuria obtusata
, of which last an Albatross that I had shot dischar[g]d a large quantity, incredible as it may appear that any animal should feed upon this blubber, whose stings innumerable give a much more Acute pain to a hand which touches them than Nettles.
